AN INDEPENDENT estate agency in Wokingham is opening its third branch, just 16 months after it launched its first.

Hat and Home has opened an office in Bracknell, joining its Erfstadt Court and Crowthrone bases.

The company, run by Ben Gee, is currently preparing the new office in The Lexicon so it can open but it is already marketing properties to the Bracknell market.

The office design will be similar to the existing branches, including its bowler hat lights and exposed brick walls.

Mr Gee’s philosophy is to make moving home, said to be one of the most stressful periods of a person’s life, a fantastic experience.

“Bracknell is a great fit for Hat and Home and we can’t wait to get the office open for our customers,” he said.

“ The re-fit will take a few weeks, but we are already listing properties to sell and let for people wanting to take advantage of our introductory rates.”

Mr Gee has more than 20 years of experience, including working for companies such as Romans, Foxtons and Marsh & Parsons.

And Hat and Home has a keen sense of community, raising more than £17,000 for Parkinson’s UK through a series of events..
